                There is a bit of a contradiction in terms when it comes to gifts for her. Whenever a man is confronted with the buying of a present for a cherished female in their life, the automatic, foolproof gift ideas spring into mind to solve this problem. The logic runs thus; if a girl needs a gift, you can't go far wrong with jewellery and/or perfume and make up. However, it isn't always so clear cut just what the lady in your life desires. If the stereotype holds, and if men are from Mars and girls from Venus, then you can imagine that that Mars is full of cars, beer and football whereas Venus has a health spa on every corner with free wine! We all know that at some point we will have a disgruntled girlfriend/mother/auntie standing glaring at you when you YET AGAIN buy her that cheap perfume she doesn't like! So, what other gift ideas are there out there for the seraphs fair in your life?

Now, this may be cheating in some way after all I've said above, but allow me to explain. Women like to be pampered, they like to have their hair done and they enjoy looking nice for people. This much is true. So, it stands to reason that a gift or experience day could satisfy this interest. One such experience is the Makeover Experience Day. This is a full and fun day perfectly pitched at those who like to be pampered. On this day, you head down to a salon nearest to you in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff or Newcastle, and are completely spoiled with a variety of beauty treatments. These include a skin refresh, makeup and hair consultation followed by a professional hair styling and make up session. You are then shown into a professional photographic studio and have a photo shoot, of which you can choose the photos to keep afterwards. Refreshments are served throughout the day, and you can have a friend come along too, either to watch or to have the same treatment, so you can share the fun too.

 On this subject, there are other gifts for her related to Experience Days that might just suit the lady in your life too. It is related to the above in that it seeks to pamper and spoil her in relaxing surroundings. Most relevant to this idea is the Pamper Day Experience, which takes place at luxury health spas up and down the country. You can experience all sorts of treatments, from pedicures to manicures and massages, as well as full use of the sauna and other spa facilities. The stress will just drain out of you, and you can also enjoy a delicious and healthy lunch buffet in between being spoiled! Finally, if you are feeling particularly energetic you can take part in any of the fitness classes offered, though I myself would prefer to sprawl in the Jacuzzi!

Of course, not all gift ideas need concern days out, and there are many things you can get for a special lady that will still be appreciated. For instance I know, from experience, that girls treasure their lips and look after them with balms and lipsticks like no other thing. Perfect then would be the Naught but Nice lip gloss set, which come in 6 different flavours including Wild Berry Tart, Raspberry Cream Tart, Chocolate Cream Puff and Chocolate Sprinkle Muffin. These will make her lips shiny and smooth, as well as smelling heavenly!

 Following from this, the lady whom you are buying a gift for might well be a star. If this is the case, then why not get her a star?! With the Name A Star kit, you can pick a star from out of the heavens and name it after your chosen lady. They will receive a certificate and poster showing just where your star is, what it is called and when it can be seen, and this makes for a romantic and sentimental gift that will endure.

 Finally, I can only suggest smaller, though undoubtedly welcome, gift ideas. One of these is another of those things girls profess to love, chocolate. This isn't an occasion for your normal Caramel or Maltesers though, however nice they are, so treat her to some classy, rich Belgian chocolate instead. Along this line, you can also get a Retro Sweets Hamper, which contains all those classic sweets from yesteryear that you just can't get nowadays.

 So, the above is just an overview of the huge amount of gifts for her out there, so no longer should you need to settle for just the typical jewellery/perfume formula, as successful as it has been!
